All such appeals shall be taken and perfected within sixty (60) days from the date of the decision of the commissioner which is the subject of the appeal, and the chancery court to which such appeal is taken may affirm such decision, or reverse and remand the same to the commissioner for further proceedings as justice may require, or dismiss such appeal. All such appeals shall be tried de novo.
(b) Upon the filing with the commissioner of a petition of appeal to the proper chancery court, it shall be the duty of the commissioner, as promptly as possible and in any event within sixty (60) days after approval of the appeal bond, to file with the clerk of said chancery court to which the appeal is taken a copy of the petition for appeal and of the decision appealed from, and the original and one (1) copy of the transcript of the record of the proceedings and evidence before the commission. After the filing of said petition, the appeal shall be perfected by the filing of a bond in the penal sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) with two (2) sureties, or with a surety company qualified to do business in Mississippi as surety, conditioned to pay the costs of such appeal, said bond to be approved by the commissioner or by the clerk of the chancery court to which such appeal is taken.
(c) No decision of the commissioner made as a result of a hearing under the provisions of this section shall become final with respect to any party affected and aggrieved by such decision until such party shall have exhausted or shall have had an opportunity to exhaust all of his remedies provided by this section.
